title: Spontaneous Resolution of Residual Mitral Regurgitation in Patient With ALCAPA on ECMO.
abstract: We describe a case of revascularization for anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) with severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and severe mitral regurgitation (MR). Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), later successfully converted to an indigenous left ventricular assist device (LVAD) functionally resulted in the spontaneous resolution of MR and satisfactory recovery of LV function.
